■ Avoid any physical contact.
■ Pour away the defrost water and do not use it for anything else.
■ Please ensure to thoroughly clean the crockery you have used.
Risks in microwave and microwave combi modes

WARNING
Microwave hazard!
The cover in the cooking chamber serves to protect the magnetron, which emits the microwaves.
■ Never remove the cover inside the cooking chamber!
A door that fails to close adequately can cause microwave radiation to escape. Under such circumstances, the appliance may not be used.
■ If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a competent person.
■ It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation that involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.
■ Pay particular attention to the cleanliness of the door seals and door seal faces along with all adjacent parts.
Danger of explosion!
Improper handling of the appliance may result in damage or explosions.
■ Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens. Containers that become hotter than the food inside them are not suitable for microwave cooking. Do not use such containers.
■ Metallic containers for food and beverages are not allowed during microwave cooking. Metal in the cooking chamber may cause sparks during operation! This can damage the viewing window or the entire appliance! Do not use metal pots, metal pans and metal lids or dishware with metal parts such as gold edges under any circumstances.
■ Do not use any aluminium foil, due to the fact that this can also cause sparks when coming into contact with the cooking chamber walls.
■ Never place a mixture of water and oil or fat into the appliance. This can explode.
■ Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
■ Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended. Prick holes in tomatoes, sausages, aubergines or similar food with a closed skin before cooking to prevent bursting.

CAUTION
Risk of scalding!
Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed and eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container. The liquid then reaches boiling temperature without any outward visible sign of boiling. Even a small vibration can cause the liquid to squirt out suddenly, e.g. when being taken out of the appliance.
■ To avoid a boiling delay, place a plastic or glass spoon in the container. The spoon must always maintain a minimum distance of 2 cm from the inner walls.
■ Do not use tall, thin containers with a narrow top section.
■ Please ensure you stir the food before eating and after half the cooking time has elapsed.
■ Please wait a short moment after heating up; carefully tip the dish and stir before removing the container from the cooking chamber.
Risk of burns!
Improper handling of the appliance can lead to burns. Accessible parts, accessories and dishes become very hot during operation.
■ Do not touch the parts of the housing!
■ Food is sometimes heated unevenly. The containers should not get as hot as the food inside. Please therefore ensure to check the temperature of any food thoroughly and carefully, especially for children.
■ Before heating up baby food, please remove the screw cap and suction teat from the feed bottle.
■ The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.

Information about microwaves
What are microwaves?
Microwaves are electromagnetic waves. As with radio and TV, microwaves are also invisible and intangible.
Microwaves
– are reflected by all metals,
– can penetrate glass, porcelain, plastic and paper,
– are absorbed by foodstuffs.
What effect do microwaves have on foodstuffs?
- The microwaves penetrate foodstuffs to a depth of approximately 3 cm.
- The water, fat and sugar molecules are heated up (dishes with a high water content are heated up most quickly).
- This heat then slowly penetrates the entire dish and leads to the dish being defrosted, heated and cooked.
– Due to the fact that the individual elements of the dish are heated unevenly, it is important to stir or turn the dish over to ensure that it is cooked through evenly. - The cooking compartment and the air in this compartment are not heated. The food container is primarily heated by the hot food itself.
- When heating liquids, a so-called "boiling delay" can occur. The liquid then reaches boiling temperature without any outward visible sign of boiling. Even a small vibration can cause the liquid to squirt out suddenly, e.g. when being taken out of the appliance.
- Every dish requires a certain amount of energy for cooking or defrosting. A good rule of thumb is “high power, short time” or “low power, long time”.
How does a microwave oven work?
– A microwave generator, the so-called magnetron, generates the microwaves and disperses them into the cooking chamber.
- The cooking chamber walls and inner screen reflect microwaves, preventing them from being emitted out of the cooking chamber.
- The turntable (3) ensures that the microwaves are distributed evenly to the food.
- The microwave power output is variably adjustable.
- The appliance switches off
- after the selected time has elapsed,
- when opening the cooking chamber door.
Applications
The microwave is suitable for the preparation of:
- Stews, soups, sauces
- Meat without crusts
- Steamed fish
- Vegetables
- Side dishes (rice, boiled potatoes, some pasta)
- Hot drinks
– Defrosting small portions.
Suitable dishware
CAUTION
Danger of explosion!
Improper handling of the appliance may result in damage.
■ Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens. If a container becomes hotter than the foodstuff itself, then it is unsuitable for use in a microwave. Do not use such containers.
■ Metallic containers for food and beverages are not allowed during microwave cooking. Metal in the cooking chamber may cause sparks during operation! This can damage the viewing window or the entire appliance! Do not use metal pots, metal pans and metal lids or dishware with metal parts such as gold edges under any circumstances.
■ Do not use any aluminium foil, due to the fact that this can also cause sparks.
Material
Use only microwave-suitable dishware. This includes:
– fire-resistant glass, ceramic, porcelain
– fire and frost resistant glass ceramics
– High heat resistant and microwaveable plastic (e.g. oven bag)
To find out whether your cookware is suitable for microwave use, you can carry out the following test:
- Place the empty container in the cooking chamber and switch on the microwave oven at full power for a maximum of 20–30 seconds. If the dishware becomes hot or if sparks form, it is not suitable.
Size and shape
- Flat, wide containers are more suitable than tall, narrow ones. "Flat" dishes can cook through more evenly.
– Round or oval shaped containers are more suitable than square or rectangular containers. There is a potential for localised overheating in the corners.
Practical tips
The correct cooking time
Given that microwaves react with varying intensity to water, fat and sugar, the cooking time depends significantly on the composition of the dish.
- Dishes which are high in fat or sugar (doughnuts, puddings, fruitcakes) cook more quickly – and reach higher temperatures – than other dishes, as fat and sugar absorb microwave energy well.
Make sure to observe the recommended cooking times; otherwise, the food will burn and damage the appliance.
– Dishes that have a high water content (fish, vegetables, sauces) cook faster than “dry” dishes. - “Dry” dishes (rice, grain products, dried beans) cook very slowly. Please add a little water to these before cooking.
The correct quantity
The greater the quantity for preparation, the longer the cooking time. If, for example, a potato takes 4 minutes, then two potatoes will take 7 minutes. Rule of thumb: Twice the quantity requires approximately twice the amount of time.
- Small food items cook more quickly than large food items. And food items of equal size cook through more evenly than food items of different sizes. If possible, cut all food into pieces of roughly the same size. Remember to do this when freezing!
- When defrosting, size and form play a key role. Small, flat food portions defrost faster and more evenly than larger, thicker food portions. During the defrosting process, separate portions that have already begun to thaw, as exposed pieces defrost faster.
Order of dishes
To achieve an even result, special attention must be paid to arranging the food correctly for cooking:
- Arrange food with several equally sized pieces (potatoes, meatballs, hamburgers) in a circle in the container and leave the middle empty.
- For pieces of different sizes, place the small or thin pieces in the middle, as these pieces will be the last to cook.
- For irregularly shaped pieces (e.g. fish), place the thin or flatter end towards the middle.
– Lay thin slices of meat on top of each other or criss-cross them. - Place thicker slices and pieces of meat (joints, sausages etc.) close together.
- Heat meat juices and sauces in a separate container; only fill this 23 full!
Piercing and scoring
Excess pressure can be caused in many dishes when heating them through. It is therefore recommended to pierce or score certain dishes, to prevent them from bursting.
- Do not microwave eggs in their shells – unless using special containers which are commercially available.
- Pierce food with peels or skins (potatoes, tomatoes, sausages, aubergines, egg yolks) to prevent it from bursting open.
– Score the skin of whole fish to prevent it from tearing open.
! WARNING
Risk of burns!
Food is sometimes heated up unevenly in the microwave. The containers should not get as hot as the food inside.
■ Please therefore ensure to check the temperature of any food thoroughly and carefully, especially for children.
■ The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.
• Always stir baby food in particular very thoroughly to avoid burns.
- It is essential to check the temperature by tasting the food.
- With poultry, with dishes containing fresh egg, and when warming up meals, make absolutely sure that the food is fully cooked through to kill off all pathogens (such as salmonella).
- Stir the food after half the cooking time has elapsed and turn it, as food does not heat through evenly in the microwave.

Waste prevention, free return and disposal
Waste prevention
According to the provisions of Directive 2008/98/EC, waste prevention measures always take priority over waste management.
For electrical and electronic devices, waste prevention measures include extending the lifespan of defective devices through repair and reselling used working appliances instead of disposing of them.
Please help us reduce waste and contact our customer service if your product is faulty.
More information can be found in the brochure "Waste Prevention Programme – of the German Government with the Involvement of the Federal States".
Free return of old electrical appliances
Upon purchasing a new electrical appliance of the same type with essentially the same function, consumers may return an old electrical appliance to a distributor obliged to take back old appliances, at no extra cost for the consumers. This option also exists for deliveries made to a private household. For distance selling, the option of having old electrical equipment collected for free applies only in the case of purchase of new electrical equipment with heat exchangers (e.g. refrigerators, dehumidifiers), screens and display devices with a screen surface > 100 cm ^2 , and large devices with at least one of its external dimensions measuring more than 50 cm.
In addition, consumers may return up to three old electrical appliances of the same type to a distributor's collection point for free, without having to purchase a new electrical appliance. In this case, however, the old appliances' external dimensions may not exceed 25 cm.
Disposal
Disposing of old electrical devices in an environmentally friendly manner

Electrical appliances contain harmful substances as well as valuable resources.

Every consumer is therefore re- v law to dispose of old electrical ap- at an authorised collection or return they will thus be made available for mentally-sound, resource-saving re-
You can dispose of old electrical appliances free of charge at your local recycling centre.
Please contact your dealer directly for more information about this topic.
Don't forget to erase data!
If necessary, each consumer is responsible for erasing personal data from electrical and electronic equipment.
Batteries and rechargeable batteries, lamps and bulbs
If necessary, old single-use and rechargeable batteries that are not encased by an old electrical appliance, as well as lamps/bulbs that can be removed from an old electrical appliance without being destroyed, must be removed and disposed of separately before you return the appliance.

This symbol means that batteries and rechargeable batteries must not be disposed of with other household waste.
Consumers are required by law to bring all batteries and rechargeable batteries, regardless of whether they contain harmful substances*) or not, to a collection point operat-
ed by their communal authority or borough or to a retailer, so that they can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner and so that valuable resources (e.g. cobalt, nickel or copper) can be recovered.
Batteries and rechargeable batteries can be returned free of charge.
Some of the possible contents (e.g. mercury, cadmium and lead) are toxic and, if improperly disposed of, can have adverse effects on the environment. Heavy metals, for instance, can have detrimental health effects on humans, animals and plants and accumulate in the environment and food chain, and then enter the body indirectly through the consumption of food.
There is a high risk of fire with old lithium batteries. Special care must therefore be taken to properly dispose of old lithium batteries and rechargeable batteries. Improper disposal can also lead to internal and external short circuits due to thermal effects (heat) or mechanical damage. A short circuit can lead to a fire or an explosion and have serious consequences for people and the environment. It is therefore important to tape off the poles of lithium batteries and rechargeable batteries before disposing of them to prevent an external short circuit.
Before disposing of the appliance, batteries and rechargeable batteries which are not permanently built into the appliance must be removed and disposed of separately.
Please only dispose of batteries and rechargeable batteries in a discharged state!
If possible, use rechargeable batteries in place of disposable batteries.
